. REGIILAR MEETING
JUNE 1, 1993
Mr. Tom Radue of Barr Engineering reviewed the ash material and noted
that it is a stable ma.terial . Radue said that dust control would be
necessary by using tarps over trucks when transporting and some site dust
controls.
Bill Lower, Dakota Coun.ty Lead Inspector noted that random testi�g would
be conducted in order to verify that the coal ash is not contaminated and
U.S.P.C.I. is required to keep daily testing files which would be
reviewed by Mr. Lower.
Don Chapdelaine and Mike Scraton from U.S.P.C.I. said their company's
projections for waste tonnage were too high and the coal ash would allow
more clients and increase the tonnage amount. Coal ash is very
environmentally manageable and U.S.P.C. I. has no objection to the wording
of the amended zoning ordinanee. Profit� have not been realized and the
ma.in company is subsidizing the plant in a large way. Three full time
workers have been laid off.
Councilmember Klassen reminded all that the former Council had very
carefully worded the original permit so that it excluded any ash. The
perception at that time with dealing with Dakota County Incinerator,
University of Minnesota Rosemount requesting a coal ash cell, and
Minnesota Solid Waste incinerator ash, gave Council the message to stay
clear of eoai ash. Also, the original permit was €or five years, now
after six months an amendment is already requested.
Frank Holenstein, Freshwater Foundation, voiced his concerns with the
additives mixed with coal ash, i.e. spent oxide bauxite, mercury and
garbage. Controls, storage and transportation can then become risks.
Don Chapdelaine said U.S .P.C.I. is a good neighbor and hapes that the
public' s perception of it is good. The technology for these halding
cells is excellent and environmentally controllable. The Host Community
Fees will benefit Rosemount in the future and U.S.P.C.I, requests the
amendment so that this facility can be successful.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing on the zoning text
amendment for Coal Ash Disposal in Nonhazardous Industrial Waste
Containment Facilities. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Klassen, Willcox,
Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.
Both Willcox and K3assen did not recommend approval . Klassen said if
caal ash is safe why not fill regular landfills with it rather than a
facility made for items not accepted at most landfills.
MOTION by McMenomy to table action until resolution of the Interim Use
Permit Amendment. Secoad b� Wippermann. Ayes : Wippermann, McMenomy,
Staats. Nays: Willcox, Klassen.
MOTION by McMenomy to place U.S.P.C. I. ' s petition for a zoning text
amendment for Caal Ash Disposal back on the next agenda for consideration
of setting a public hearing. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Wippermann,
McMenamy, Staats. Nays: Klassen, Willcox.

SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 25, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, May 25, 1993 at
7: �0 p•m. in the Council Chambers at Rosemount City Ha}.1, 2875 - 145th
Street West.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Willcox,
Wippermann, McMenomy, and Klassen present. Councilmember Staats was ill.
Also present were Planning Commission.ers: Ingram, Gundacker, McDermotti,
Busho, Baago; Port Authority Commissioners Andersan, Carroll, Dunn,
Edwards,McMenomy, . Sinnwell, and Wippermann; and City Administrator Ji1k,
City Engineer Osmundson, Economic Develtipment Coordinator John Miller,
Planning Director Lisa Freese, Assistant Planner Ricl� Pearson and City
Attc�rney Miles.
Speakers representing Metrapo].itari Couneil were Steve Schwanke, Principal
Reviewer, and Craig Morris, Representative of District 16; and Don Blurun,
Comrnunity Service Manager af Metro Waste Control Commission.
Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor NlcMenomy explained to those present that the purpose of the meeting
was to discuss the status of the City' s Comprehensive Guide Plan �eview
with the Metropolitan Council.
Planning Director Lisa Freese introduced Craig Morris, District 16
Representative for Metropolitan Council. The Redistricting Plan will cause
Mr. Morris to be representative for District 15 and so Rosemount will have
a new representative shortly. Metrapolitan Council is attempting to find a
better growth control process. Right now the MUSA ma.nagement is trying to
cansider ways to slow growth. The costs for MtJSA expansion infrastructure
will be borne most likely by those causing growth. Metropolitan Council is
rethinking growth strategies; Morris would like to keep politics out of
the process and find a short term solution ta lessen the stress for
developing cities and encourage core city redevelopment.
The airport site selection will have an impact on development for
Rosemount. Morris indicated he is prepared to detend the idea o� a
reliever airport such as Flying Cloud or Rochester rather than a new
airport being constructed. Morris eommended city staff for their
involvement in the .airport siting proeess.
Morris mentioned that the fees required now are not covering cc��ts f�r
sewer and if an airport is sited near Rosemount the investment would be
immense. Councilmember Klassen mentioned other means af recovering costs,
i.e. Impaet Fees, Transporta�ion Impact Fees, SAC fees.
Don Bluhm nated that impact fees have to be defined by the Legislature
before they can became le'gal . The Rc�semount Waste Water Treatment Plant
was overloaded, improvements were made and after the po�d °turned over��
this� spring they were able to expand capacity to . 84 MGD. The Empire Plant
receives some diverted flow and through 1998 Rosemount should have enough
capaeity.
Steve Schwanke noted that moving the b�undaries in the Rosemount MUSA to
decrease the need would probably be acceptable for qualifying for approval
of the Tnterim MUSA in the City�s Comprehensive Guide Plan. This does nat

that the Update 2000 plan could be submitted later with larger boundaries
